No art this morning but just had to share our experience from 5:05 to 6:30 a.m. this morning. I set the alarm for 5:00 and DH and I went outside and watched the total lunar eclipse. It had just started to darken from the top of the moon -- which was a full bright moon -- gorgeous. We looked through a sort of telescope and were able to see it in all it's glory but it was also an awesome site to the human eye. It really did turn a gorgeous pinkish color. We couldn't see quite as much copper as in this photo taken in Utah. You can google for lots of stories and pics. When it was totally eclipsed, we took a short drive, hoping to see it start back to full moon but the trees were in our way everywhere we went so we gave up and came back home. Even with street lights, neighbors leaving for early work schedules, and outside house lights on, it was a fantastic view, right from our front yard!!!
